...weeks ago, the Harvard Jazz Collective, after almost four years of existence, played its last gig at the Adams House Formal. We’re close friends now, and the experience meant a lot to us, if not to the modest, probably trashed crowd in the dining hall that inexplicably preferred our take on “swing” (mostly later Miles Davis) to the DJ upstairs. For most of us, it was probably our last chance to play the working musician; we were closing our instrument cases on a decade’s worth of practice. We packed...
...Saturday night of April 26, 1959, a teeming crowd of more than 10,000 gathered at the Dillon Field House to welcome an intriguing visitor. Long before he was scheduled to speak, concerns were already brewing over audience size, security, and even a failed bomb threat.

Michigan may have been a terrible team in the Big 10 that year, but it still is a big-time program, and its visit...
...dramatic double-overtime win over the Lions gave Harvard its eighth league title. Both defenses held strong until, with nine seconds left in the second extra period, All-Ivy First-Team defender Lizzy Nichols snapped the 1-1 tie, nailing a penalty kick in front of a raucous home crowd...
